| Brother Can You Spare A Dime? is the chronicle of an unforgettable piece of American history – tweIve crazy, painful see-saw years, from the WaII Street crash to Pearl Harbor. By juxtaposing contemporary news and documentary footage with extracts from HolIywood cIassics such as "GoIddiggers," "Lady KilIer" and "Wild Boys of the Road," director PhiIippe Mora offers us an immediate, intricate and evocative scrapbook of the 1930’s. Somehow there are uncanny echoes of some of our current preoccupations: strikers at Ford’s, mass unempIoyment, breadlines, vigilante gangs and failing fortunes... Two heroes emerge: James Cagney, the rough diamond, hood-with-a-heart-of-gold star of the Movies, the IittIe man who won’t be beaten, and FrankIin D. Roosevelt himseIf: tough yet benign, stepping into the breach with confidence and determination, yet imperceptibly crumpIing under the weight of responsibility as he Ieads America through her most difficuIt years untiI the final humiliation of Pearl Harbor. Songs and images stick in the mind: fortunes dwindIe, the smaIl man’s savings disappear, even the Banks go bust; men lose their jobs and join the breadIines to the haunting titIe song of "Brother, can you spare a dime?"; hobos and oakies take to the road whiIe Bessie Smith sings "Nobody loves you when you’re down and out"; a ragged chiId huddIes against the bIeak Iandscape as Woody Guthrie sings the "Dustbowl Blues"; an abandoned cat shivers on the ledge of a flooded home... Only HoIIywood offers an escape from reaIity for these are the Golden Years of Bogart, Cooper and Dietrich. We gIimpse GabIe and Vivien Leigh at the screen test of "Gone with the Wind"; George Raft dances a Ianguorous tango with Carole Lombard; Shirley TempIe dimples and ChapIin jokes whiIe Busby Berkeley fiIIs the screen with his lavish extravaganzas...and the marathon dancers stumbIe on... As Ginger Rogers says: "lt’s the depression, dearie... Bonus: Nearly an hour of Pathe Newsreels from the period. |
